Historically, Zakarpattia has close ties with neighbouring countries. It affects the daily life of the region's residents and certainly enriches its culture.
From August 7 to 11, we invite you to screenings of contemporary cinema from Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, and Romania. This year marks the third edition of the 5-day festival dedicated to the cultural ties between Zakarpattia and its neighboring countries. Kino Susidiv (Neighbours' Cinema) festival offers a cultural experience through cinema, connecting people from different countries. The festival showcases films from Visegrad countries, which share a historical past and a common experience with Zakarpattia.
In a time of war, we all realized the value of true good-neighbourliness – not only at the household level but also at the level of states. When those who share a border with you unite to provide help and fight against a common enemy, as if borders do not exist, instead there is only one duty – to stay humane and not to leave anyone in the lurch.
The event is organized by the team of KyivMusicFilm in cooperation with Young Film Fest (Chech Republic), Azyl Shorts (Slovakia), The Ad Arte Foundation (Poland), and Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary), with the suport of the Romanian Cultural Insitute and Austrian Cooperation Bureau in Lviv.
The project is co-financed by the Governments of Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia through Visegrad Grants from International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the fund is to advance ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe.
